The Academy is holding a limited number of
rooms available for MSHA employees who will be participating in this
training. Lodging arrangements have already been made for Key Officials at
the Academy. Please respond to Kelly Tharp at tharp.kelly@... with a listing of participants from
your district to assure that housing is
available.

Attendees for the Rules Training have
been asked to submit any questions they may have to Norman Page by March 7,
2010. We will then forward the questions to the Chief Judge so these
concerns may be addressed during the respective
session.

Please contact all Mine Rescue, First
Aid, Bench and Preshift participants within your District and inform them of the
opportunity to attend the training. A general notification will also be
posted on MSHAs Mine Rescue home
page.

The 2010 Coal Mine Rescue, First Aid, Bench
and Preshift Competition Rules will be posted on MSHAs Mine Rescue home page
(www.MSHA.gov) as soon as possible, and will remain there until after
the 2010 Competition Season. Although attendees have been notified in past
years that copies of the Rules would not be available for handout at the
training; resources are no longer available to provide this service.
Consequently,attendees must
bring a copy of the Rules to the training. No copies are
being made for handout.

If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact Carolyn Archer, Diane Crouse or Eva Yeary at
276-679-0230.
